Guys, Looking for a machine shop in the KC area. Just needing an 8BA block bored - no assembly. There is one guy here in KC but he's apparently busy with commercial accounts and may take years. Don't mind driving if needed as long as they know flatheads. Any pointers would be appreciated. Dave KC
I'd call Noland's Cylinder Head Service in Kansas City. If they cannot do it they will tell you where to take it. Jim 816-471-5167
Man I wish buzzard racing was still around up there in your area! A great guy and a hell of a machine shop......
Great! Yeah not sure about Baxter though friends have dealt with him before. I've been to Day Automotive for another project(incomplete). They are pretty good at balancing from what I hear. I'll check with those guys and also with Fiddlers. Never heard of them. Nolands did some V-6 heads for me this winter. I don't think they do block work but I'll check. I've heard shops that do other V8s don't understand the offset crank and bore all 8 cylinders symmetrically to the CL, ruining the block., This is a first bore dialed at only .002-.007 out. If good it'll be around a long time. Much appreciated. Dave
